CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 282: THE FOOL

Fengyin Courtyard

Duan Yunxia walked out from the inner chamber, looked at Mo Liu worriedly, and said, "What’s wrong with your Young Master?"

Everything seemed fine when he left, but why is he so downcast now that he’s back?

Mo Liu said, "Miss, you don’t need to worry. The young master just recalled some past events, and he’s feeling a bit down."

"Past events?" Duan Yunxia frowned, "What kind of past events?"

Mo Liu said, "It’s about some past events of the master and mistress."

"I see!" Duan Yunxia sighed lightly and said, "I have never met father and mother either, so I don’t know how to comfort him!"

She thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Mo Liu and said, "I heard Yunfei is back. Your young master always listens to him. Go and ask Yunfei to come and persuade your young master."

"This..."

Mo Liu felt somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that the people his young master feels most ashamed to face right now would be Duan Yunfei and Duan Nian, right?

If he goes to invite Duan Yunfei, wouldn’t that embarrass his young master?

"What’s wrong?" Duan Yunxia hesitated and asked as she looked at him, "Could it be that Yunfei has gone down the mountain again?"

"No, not that!" Mo Liu responded respectfully, "It’s just that the Young Master has just returned and has been traveling on mountain roads for several days. He’s resting right now, and it’s not appropriate to disturb him."

"Then what should we do?" Duan Yunxia said worriedly, "I asked him about it, and he only said there was nothing wrong, yet his eyes are all red, clearly from crying. How could there be nothing wrong?"

Mo Liu advised, "Miss, don’t worry. The young master just remembered the late master and mistress. Perhaps if he spends some time alone, he might feel better."

"All right then!" Duan Yunxia said, "I’ll go to the nanny to see Qishu first, and you stay with your young master. If anything happens, let me know."

"Yes!" Mo Liu replied respectfully.

Not long after Duan Yunxia left the main hall, Duan Yunfei arrived.

"Y-young Master!"

Mo Liu looked at him in surprise, not expecting Duan Yunfei to come at this time.

"Hmm." Duan Yunfei responded calmly, "Where is he?"

"Oh!" Mo Liu quickly said, "The young master is inside!"

It’s good that he came; the relationship between the two has always been good, and he was worried that Duan Yunfei and Feng Wuya might have a rift over this matter.

When Duan Yunfei entered the inner room, Feng Wuya was staring blankly at the bedhead, not even noticing him enter.

Mo Liu brought a chair over to the bedside, then hurriedly went out to prepare tea.

Feeling someone sit beside him, Feng Wuya raised his head blankly.

Duan Yunfei let out a light sigh, "If Master saw you like this now, he might punish you by making you water the rhododendron grove for half a year."

"You’re here?" Feng Wuya lowered his head, his voice somewhat weak, "Ask whatever you want."

"I already know the truth," Duan Yunfei said, "I have nothing to ask."

"Are you disappointed?" Feng Wuya said without lifting his head, "If it weren’t for Mo Liu advising me, I might have made a terrible mistake!"

"I thought I was exceptionally smart, lurking in Yongning Manor for so many years, exhausting my efforts to deal with what I thought were my enemies. In the end, I’ve realized this was nothing but an extremely childish joke!"

He gave a self-deprecating laugh, his voice desolate, "I’m a complete fool. You can hit me or scold me as you wish!"

Duan Yunfei looked at him, not saying a word, just with his half-dead attitude. Could he bring himself to do it?
